Eye eye
In Biology during Year 10, we were doing an eye dissection. One of my friends thought it fit to lob a lump of it about the room, and he promptly discovered that if you threw it at a window it slithered down slowly. He decided to throw it at the ceiling next. I believe most of it's still stuck up there now - 3 years later.
Also this:
In Year 7, I managed to knock out a friend's filling with my sports bag. I promptly received a lengthy torrent of rage from the deputy head. This torrent included the comment that I would never go to Oxford. A few weeks ago I received a letter from Oxford. Saying that I had an offer. Yay!

Same here
Was never specifically told I'd never get into oxford, but was told that my school reference would be terrible (to be fair I did CDC their lawn). Shame they only asked my college for a reference.
What ya doing? I got in for Physics at Magdalen

Woo!
Physics at Wadham, but it means that I need three As. Physics and Maths should be easy enough, but Chemistry could be interesting (and there's no hope of me getting one in Computing, our teacher's pretty dire).

woo indeed
I've got an unconditional offer :p (already have 4 As)
You have to get the grades, I wouldn't want to be the only person sniggering at innuendos and topics like retardation

I'll try and get the grades, but from the other people there were during interviews I'm sure we won't be the only ones.
I might also know another Physicist going to Magdalen, but it might not be Magdalen. I'm not sure.

wow
If you do I expect they'll remember me from interviews- I'm the guy who looks like Jesus and may have taken them up on the offer of 'help yourself to wine' a bit too much.

I'll have to check if it was Magdalen it was he went to first, but I'll try and remember to ask him tomorrow.
EDIT: Or not, school's cancelled.
